Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test) at the level of 5 %. Proponent parameters measured were pH of soil, temperature of soil and moisture. Parameters measured were the length and biomass of earthworm for 60 days after planting (at the beginning and end of the research).

Organic materials as artificial feed (P1) tofu, (P2) kakawatan grass, (P3) chicken manure, (P4) cow manure, (P5) tofu + chicken manure, (P6) + kakawatan grass + tofu, (P7) chicken manure and kakawatangrass (P8) + cow manure + tofu. The material used is the earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus) as much as 270 worm with averaged biomass and body length. This study used a completely randomized design with 9 treatments and 3 replications. This research was conducted at the Natural Laboratory of Education and Teacher Training University of Riau in April to June 2013.

Research has been conducted in order to determine the growth of the earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus) with artificial food and utilization of research results to support the learning process on the concept of growth and development of invertebrates.
